The primary objective of the charity is to "tackle homophobia triggered by religion to help parents accept their children".[4] The Foundation campaigns in the national media and give talks in schools and universities. They provide support to LGBTQI individuals and their family to help resolve challenges linked to sexuality, gender identity and religion.
